I was supposed to do stuff today but I made a mistake – sitting down "for just a moment" to read. And, well, when I finished reading it was 6 p.m. But it was a well spent time as I liked this one more than part 1!! I got really invested and now I can't stop thinking about this book, it was so fun (?) to read.
While reading the first part I wasn't sure if I actually like any of the characters, but after spending time with them they became so dear to me, especially the main three. Eleanor is a really cool character; at first I was afraid she'll be the "girl getting in the way of yaoi" but fortunately she was not that stupid trope at all and an entire very clever person of her own. And I liked that Seb also saw that and just tried to be her friend. Speaking of Sebastian, like I said I wasn't sure about him at first, but he's grown so much during these two books he's my son now (even if he's weird about Bowie). And because he was narrating this book it wasn't really possible to dislike Finn either, cause damn this boy is so into him you just have to like him too.
A lot of things I'd like to say here are spoilers and I don't want to hide this review so I'll just say: give these books a try. They're truly alright.
